It’ll be a focused on the customer experience, with ample places to hang out, including a two-story indoor/outdoor seating area with balconies. And being about a mile from Augusta National Golf Club, it’ll have a putting green.
The store will reportedly have many take-out and catering options plus a beer and wine bar with small bites, sushi bar, coffee bar, pizza and pasta bar, hot bar, bakery, sandwich and salad bar, seafood, juice and smoothie bar, specialty cheese and an outdoor barbecue smoker.
The store will also include a “beer cave,” a flower department and a pharmacy that’ll offer vaccinations.
Traffic pain continues, but end is in sight for downtown Augusta
Streets in downtown Augusta have been under construction for months now, and now the traffic is getting even worse, but just for a while.
As far as actual groceries, the store will have traditional items plus organic and specialty offerings.
The announcement comes just weeks after the opening of a new Lowes Foods in Aiken.
